How do I use widgets to define layout properties?
|
In React Native, most of the layout can be done with the props
|
that are passed to a specific component.
|
For example, you could use the style prop on the View component
|
in order to specify the flexbox properties.
|
To arrange your components in a column, you would specify a prop such as:
|
flexDirection: 'column'.In Flutter, the layout is primarily defined by widgets
|
specifically designed to provide layout,
|
combined with control widgets and their style properties.For example, the Column and Row widgets
|
take an array of children and align them
|
vertically and horizontally respectively.
|
A Container widget takes a combination of
|
layout and styling properties, and a
|
Center widget centers its child widgets.
|
<code_start>@override
|
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
|
return Center(
|
child: Column(
|
children: <Widget>[
|
Container(
|
color: Colors.red,
|
width: 100,
|
height: 100,
|
),
|
Container(
|
color: Colors.blue,
|
width: 100,
|
height: 100,
|
),
|
Container(
|
color: Colors.green,
|
width: 100,
|
height: 100,
|
),
|
],
|
),
|
);<code_end>
|
Flutter provides a variety of layout widgets in its core widget library.
|
For example, Padding, Align, and Stack.For a complete list, see Layout Widgets.<topic_end>

How do I layer widgets?
|
In React Native, components can be layered using absolute positioning.Flutter uses the Stack
|
widget to arrange children widgets in layers.
|
The widgets can entirely or partially overlap the base widget.The Stack widget positions its children relative to the edges of its box.
|
This class is useful if you simply want to overlap several children widgets.
|
<code_start>@override
|
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
|
return Stack(
|
alignment: const Alignment(0.6, 0.6),
|
children: <Widget>[
|
const CircleAvatar(
|
backgroundImage: NetworkImage(
|
'https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/14101776?v=4',
|
),
|
),
|
Container(
|
color: Colors.black45,
|
child: const Text('Flutter'),
|
),
|
],
|
);<code_end>
|
The previous example uses Stack to overlay a Container
|
(that displays its Text on a translucent black background)
|
on top of a CircleAvatar.
|
The Stack offsets the text using the alignment property
|
and Alignment coordinates.For more information, see the Stack class documentation.<topic_end>

How do I style my components?
|
In React Native, inline styling and stylesheets.create
|
are used to style components.In Flutter, a Text widget can take a TextStyle class
|
for its style property. If you want to use the same text
|
style in multiple places, you can create a
|
TextStyle class and use it for multiple Text widgets.
|
<code_start>const TextStyle textStyle = TextStyle(
|
color: Colors.cyan,
|
fontSize: 32,
|
fontWeight: FontWeight.w600,
|
);
|
return const Center(
|
child: Column(
|
children: <Widget>[
|
Text('Sample text', style: textStyle),
|
Padding(
|
padding: EdgeInsets.all(20),
|
child: Icon(
|
Icons.lightbulb_outline,
|
size: 48,
|
color: Colors.redAccent,
|
),
|
),
|
],
